Israel and Egypt mark the 30th anniversary of an unfinished peace treaty

March 26th marked the 30th anniversary of the first-ever peace treaty between Israel and one of her neighbors, the signing of the Camp David Accords, a peace agreement between Israel and Egypt that was brought about by the intervention of the then US President Jimmy Carter back in 1979 at the presidential retreat, Camp David in Maryland.

The signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt was the result of the courage shown by two Middle Eastern leaders, Israeli Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. Israeli officials, however are saying that after 30 years, the Camp David Accords have never been normalized.

Jimmy's Prophetic Prospective on the News

As Israel and Egypt mark the 30th anniversary of the signing of the Camp David Accords, the stage is being set for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.

Former US President Jimmy Carter brought two sworn enemies together at the presidential retreat in Camp David, Maryland and convinced these two Middle Eastern leaders, Israeli PM Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat that they should sign a peace treaty. The Camp David Accords, the title of the peace agreement, was the very first peace treaty between Israel and any of her enemies.

Over the 30 years since history was made at Camp David, this peace treaty has never been normalized, in other words it is not working as all the parties hoped it would. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak has failed to ever make a state visit to Israel to develop a good strong relationship with the Jewish state. The truth be known, the other two peace treaties Israel has with its neighbors, the Palestinians which would be the Oslo Accords and with Jordan, the Israeli-Jordanian Peace Treaty, these treaties are not working either, they have not been normalized.

These treaties are on the table not working, waiting for someone to come along and make them work, to confirm them, which is exactly what Daniel 9:27 says will happen. The "he" in Daniel 9:27 is the Antichrist who will confirm these peace treaties, not sign a peace treaty, but confirm those on the table not working.

The 30th anniversary of peace between Israel and Egypt is indeed setting the stage for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
